The title "Certified Specialist" is used by Risknowlogy to recognize individuals who successfully complete our theory-based training and pass a certification exam. Unlike terms such as "Engineer" or "Professional," which can imply degrees or job roles, "Certified Specialist" accurately reflects demonstrated knowledge of risk, safety, and reliability topics.

Safety and reliability analysis often relies on predictive modeling to assess risks and improve system performance.

This article explores how Markov models work, their applications, and key advantages in industries where failure prevention is critical.
